I have a sore wrist when I do plank position or push ups. would these help for this?

Yes, absolutely. I started wearing them during yoga classes and they really took all of the pressure off of my wrists!

Definitely will help. May be a bit too stiff at the start. Will need to be worked in.

You can definitely still do pushups with the wraps on. The wraps just give extra support, they really don't impact your range of motion at all.

no to carpal... I imagine the resistance it gives would make it worse. I had inflamed my carpal last year but was able to get it better before it got too bad, so I understand what you are going through. If you have pain in your wrist, I would avoid many yoga positions - but I am not a doctor so...

Hi Billy,I wear it for everything except playing tennis. I haven't tried pushups with it yet, but I have done light exercises with weights. This brace, according to the website, works best for OUTER wrist pain, not inner wrist pain. Check out their website; I know they encourage you to try several exercises to see if the brace will help. Good luck!Chris

You should probably ask your physical therapist. I broke my wrist, the therapist introduced it at our last session. I like the way it engages the whole arm plus the core. You also need to work at least hard enough to get it to shimmy so can't cheat.

It may help. It's slight pressure, not firm, so you may find sleeves with more compression to be of greater help. I have a similar forearm issue and alternate between this sleeve to wear on "good" days and a thicker, tighter one when my arm is hurting.

i usually use them on heavy bench press days and sometimes on power cleans. They work good for that. If you just do not want your wrist to bend too much, then these are for you.

I find that its hard on my wrists and yes I use gloves. I find it helps me.

I don't have tendinitis, but I do have arthritis in my hands. The YogaPaws help by stabilizing the wrist, and hands. I would ask your PT about the necessary exercises to strengthen, or stretch the muscles in your hand for the tendinitis. My experience with a bad knee is that when there is an injury other muscles can atrophy, or over strengthen, and then everything is out of alignment. So, both working your muscles without a brace on, and stabilizing with a brace are important. With my knee, I need a brace whenever I am doing yoga, at the same time I continue to stretch and challenge the muscles that are not working to support my over all knee functioning. The YogaPaws are great for that, as long as you find the right size and tightness (you can adjust this) so that it is acting as a grip and stabilizer, and not pinching, or interfering with mobility. I am not a PT, but this is my personal experience. They YogaPaws people are very good at helping you size the yoga paws, which always need to be on the tight size so you don't lose your grip during Yoga. One last thought, I would imagine that your hands are stretching different muscles depending on which is holding the violin and which is using the bow. Yoga is a great way to become really familiar with the muscles in your body, as it makes you so aware of how everything is working. This should help you figure out how best to work your muscles, and I would think that since yoga is not so much geared to the muscles in your hand a good PT could add real value for that. Yoga is amazing for everything, please don't give up!

Perfect Pushups would be good for that because you will use the same concept of knuckle pushups without your knuckles on the ground/floor. I decided to give them a try, due to a shoulder injury and they provide better grip and stability for working on pushups while recovering from an injury.

I wear the brace while doing pushups and yoga without problems. Although I do have to mention that this brace will help pain on the outside or ulnar side of your wrist it most likely isn't going to help with pain on the inside or radial (thumb) side of the wrist.

using a curl bar on a bench press creates less stress on the wrist, especially if u r using a preacher curl bench

yes. they work even better with forearm crutches. Im a PT and have had many patients use these tips with success.

I would say yes, but the chance of them popping up when you bend your wrist would be fairly often. I did tuck them into a shirt with long sleeves, which worked well.

They'll probably cause some joint pain and muscle soreness for a few days after use the first couple weeks. After that, if you have problems you may want to use them less, which has solved practically all the issues I have had. Even if you lift heavy weights, like I do, you have to remember that you have not specifically trained your grip before. You have to build up to it.

I had ordered these and my therapist tried to get them tighter because my wrists also small and we could not. If not tight enough they kept slidding. If you are just going to use them as weights to strength the arms they are ok, but if you are wearing them for a workout ass running an such, I would say no.

I'm guessing it would! I was having pain in my wrist without using yoga paws, and do not have any pain now that I use them!
